[QUOTE]Originally posted by Asar Imhotep: [QB] Greetings Beyoku Thank you for watching the video and for your commentary. Below are my prepared responses. 1) We have to keep in mind that this is my Youtube channel and I do what I want on my own channel as I know my audience and what I want to do on my channel. If you would like things done differently, you create your own channel and run it how you like to run it. This is how this 'problem' of yours is solved. 2) Related to number 1), Dr. Keita and I have already planned on doing a series of interviews where the subsequent interviews will be on more narrow topics where he can go in-depth on the subject matter. If you paid attention to the interview, he even says this in the discussion. If you pay attention to my channel, this is what I do all of the time. For example, Here is a series of videos with Jean-Claude Mboli. The first video is just an introduction of him, his work, and ideas. A Conversation with Jean-Claude Mboli https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhl7kBMpDFA&t=11s The second video is a full work-shop on the comparative method in linguistics and some insights into his 2010 work Origine les langues Africaine. "The Comparative Method in African Linguistics: A Path to the Negro-Egyptian Language Family" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6NV9Sb6aAM This was followed by a third installment that goes even deeper. "How Language Has Come to Man (in Africa)": Interview with Jean-Claude Mboli Part III https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqg5YsK90A8&t=7381s 3) Not only do we have planned more interviews for the future, we are planning his website design (as I am an Africana-Studies researcher as well as a software engineer) that will be a depository of his works, which would include videos and workshops. Dr. Keita is 65 years old and my interview was his introduction to social media and getting him used to the platform. 4) In terms of the more detailed 'stuff', if one is already familiar with the subject, just read his works. And for a serious researcher, it is not hard to find such studies based off the little information talked about. We've gotten lazy these days. Lastly, never ignore the lay person. A matter of fact, that's exactly what he wanted to do: i.e., to have the conversation with the general public. Part of his mission is get more African-Americans into the sciences like biological anthropology and history so that he is not the only one in the field, on a professional level, doing this work. He hinted to this at a conference we attended in 2018, for which I uploaded his presentation to my channel that can be viewed here: Dr. S.O.Y. Keita, Cheikh Anta Diop Conference 2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQILeWaMPPs Thus, never tell people what they 'should' be doing on their own platforms, especially if you don't know what is going and what is in the works. Stop being lazy and do the work yourself if you're serious about the subject. Because it doesn't matter what he thinks about any subject. What is of concern is your competency in regards to evaluating primary evidence and coming to your own conclusions. That's what this forum lacks. As long as many people have been on this forum making circular arguments for years about the same subjects, these same folks could have been publishing works and/or getting degrees in the fields they argue. But too many of us do not want to advance. Our claim to fame is posting on a forum we don't own with poor moderationship. We have to do better. [QUOTE]Originally posted by beyoku: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Asar Imhotep: [QB] Secondly, this interview was a general interview, an introduction of him to my audience. It wasn't meant to be a deep dive into anything as the conversation would be 5 hours long trying to explain everything to the lay person. As I stated in a previous post, this was sort of last minute. We decided to do this on Sunday for Tuesday morning. So there was no time to put presentations together to have an in-depth conversation about any particular topic. [/QUOTE]If i can suggest something for the next study. IGNORE LAY PEOPLE ALL TOGETHER. Have a very specific series of questions laid out that are very technical that require very technical responses that are over lay peoples head. A scholar to scholar discussion with an audience of other armature researchers as the focus would be much better than wasting time introducing Keita to lay folks that will ask pretty remedial questions like those asked at the end of the video. No Questions about wavy line pottery? Nothing of specific migrations of uni-parental markers? Basal Eurasian, Taforalt, Takarkori, Natufian, IAM, E1b1a, MOTA, recently published Kenyan and Tanzanian ancient DNA...........all these subjects were missing in action. What we...........or rather what I am looking for is an Kieta's interpretation of these findings based on his own research and history and any other private communication or private samples he could have knowledge on. You didn't even press him on the "Primary Pastoral Community" he brought up as Egyptian cultural ancestors. Where are the links to the studies he talked about? The one on crania and pigmentation? When should always get some type of keyword so we can look this data up. IMO its your job to break complicated information down to laypeople. If not its a waste of time, its like having Nikola Tesla on the line and asking grade school questions. [/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
